How to Plan a Surprise Proposal in Edinburgh (Without Stress)
Planning from abroad? Nervous about logistics? That’s completely normal.
Here’s how I help make it effortless:
Choose the Right Location
Think about your partner’s personality:
Dramatic views? Calton Hill.
Historic castle backdrop? The Vennel.
Nature and cliffs? Arthur’s Seat.
Elegant ? Princes Street Gardens or Circus Lane
2. Plan the Cover Story
There three options to choose from:
1.Total surprise: I am acting like a tourist taking photos of the view and you’re proposing in the meantime; we don’t have any interaction since after the proposal.
2.You ask me to take a photo on your phone : I will be standing taking photos of the view , you approach me and ask me if I can take a photo of two of you - you propose and I will be using my camera.
3.You book a couple photoshoot : your partner knows about the photoshoot but doesn’t know you will propose.
3. Timing
Starting your day with a proposal.
It feels symbolic:
A new day. A new chapter. A new beginning.
Early morning proposals also mean:
Your partner looks fresh and relaxed
The light is softer and more flattering than harsh midday sun
You avoid busy backgrounds in your photos
4. Video call with me
I guide you exactly where to stand and what to do during the call we will plan it all together.
Make the Moment Last Forever
The proposal lasts seconds.
The photos last generations.
When you look back at these images in 10, 20, 40 years, you won’t just see the skyline of Edinburgh- you’ll remember the nerves, the excitement, and the exact second your lives changed.
